#4 It's not as if the Belgian government has access to or control of the things, nor likely that the Flems and the Walloons will go to war to get them.

#6 What Belgian government, TW?

Indeed, g(r)omgoru. I think they're still on the caretaker government from three elections back, but I could be off by an election or two. Sadly, France apparently has refused to acquire Wallonia and the German corner only wants not to be added to Germany, which means the Flems are stuck with a country that can't be broken up.

#8 Nuclear mines?

No, Water Modem, dear. Nuclear ourns, not yours. You have to share them with the whole country.
